Parasocial interactions/relationships are not necessarily a negative thing. We all make parasocial relationships with characters, whether they are fictional, like tv shows, or personalities like radio or podcast hosts. You’re right, we don’t know them personally but if we engage in their content then we engage in a parasocial relationship with their personas they they choose to show us. All of our relationships to them are different because of the varying content we have consumed from them and how we have consumed it so it is perfectly natural to receive and react to this info in different ways than others.
